Groups Guest access and SharePoint access
As I understand my issue is not exactely what you are discussing, but I will chime in anyway.
We have the need to create links to files in a group library for unauthenticated access. Do I understand the thread right in assuming that this is not possible?
This means that right now the users are creating files structures in their own OneDrive that they are sharing with the Group and using the Shared With Us view.
What is very messy and takes away a lot of the advantages of the group, bus the external sharinng links are crucials for this organisation.
Can anyone help?
"By default, all SharePoint site collections that are part of an Office 365 Group have the sharing setting set to Allow sharing only with the external users that already exist in your organization’s directory. To change this setting, you can use the Set-SPOSite Windows PowerShell cmdlet." from https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-external-sharing-for-your-SharePoint-Online-environment-c8a462eb-0723-4b0b-8d0a-70feafe4be85?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Hence, to share with unauthenticated users, it is enough to change the default by powershell.
